    I think the tracks will diminish rough road conditions to some extent by carrying the weight of the machine and load over more square inches, and should lessen the jarring by a little bit. Dependent on the conditions you have, it may still make for a rough ride. Everyone's back is different, and what aches one person may not even be noticed by another.

    The larger the tires and the more sidewall you have, there is an absorbing effect there as well. If you have small tires, and I believe you may have 21-22" tires? If so there's not much sidewall to begin with. You may check your tire pressure though as there is a tendency of folks to put too much psi in the tires.

    Hey Deedeelin1 my 6x6 Conquest rides much better with the 14.5 Pro Series with 22" tires @ 3.5 psi than with the 25" rawhides ever did.

    I have owned three different machines with Adair tracks. I find that my 8x8 Argo HDI rides much smoother with the Adair style pro series tracks then it does with the Argo 24 inch tires run at low PSI. Unlike tires that run smother with low PSI I find that the 8x8 rides much better running the tires at a higher PSI the tracks very tight or what i would consider tight. Running the tracks at higher PSI lets them pass right over all the small irregularities in the road and allows me to ride down trails at a good clip. There are exceptions-you can't hit dip dips without a jar and you have to crawl over logs.

    With the Adair tracks tight I find that I can move down trails at at good pace in areas where a 4x4 would have to crawl. The attached video is an example of just how well my machine moves across rough terrain. Try moving at this pace with a 4x4 and you would be in big trouble.

Thank you Dan for helping me.
    You are most welcome! Lewis has helped me so much over the years, just glad I could return/forward the help he has given me. This is why I love 6x6world.com.

    Tour tires are probably backwards again for bite.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.
